Admittedly mostly just out of curiosity, but also because I'm not a purist in any way so I'd like to learn from other's experiences.
In fact the main inspiration for this thread came from the Audeze iSINE family which I read reviews about 2 years ago if memory doesn't fail me, which unless you bought them with the Cipher cable are apparently notorious for atrocious out of the box tuning. However it seems that some owners found out you can do all sorts of ridiculous EQing and they respond extremely well to it, so I guess their selling point ends up being that they can sound the way you want them to sound.
And of course how can I forget even something as simple as fit can make or break your product, so I'd like to see examples like these as well (Although I think cheap may not describe these best since I'm pretty sure multi kilobuck earpads exist).
Heck I may already be guilty since I just ordered the BL03, probably not bad per se, but infamously has fit issues out of the box, but apparently it can be fixed with the correct eartips coutesy of Slater for the many eartip suggestions in this site. As well as cutting the filter out of the mesh also courtesy of Slater (I'd probably should try to listen to them with the filter before I do this).
idk much about it, but I heard the fostex TX0RP family is NOT something you buy for the out of the box experience either, but for the potential.
Edit: Is title too long?
